Price Drops

We always want to get the best deal on everything which is why we keep checking the price of our room even after we booked the cruise.  There is hope the price will go down (a lot) and we can call to get a price adjustment or onboard credit.  So far, the price of our room has only gone up.

I usually use www.cruisefish.net to check the price and today I noticed something interesting on balcony and window cabins  There was some sort of blip on June 19.  Prices were dramatically lowered but only for a moment on that day.  Really makes me wish I had been checking the price at that moment.  Here is a sample.

Airline Tickets

So we have done Europe before and loved it however my husband does NOT like flying over the pond on airplanes.  Granted he's never done this in coach, only business class and still knows that sitting in one seat for more than  a few hours is NOT easy for him, even if the seat is up front.

So.... transatlantic cruise is a great compromise, he only has to sit one way and I still get to see Europe.  However, booking one way tickets costs even more than a round trip in some cases.  Thankfully I enough frequent flyer miles to book our return flight home.

Here are some of my favorite airline travel websites.
